Safire set to choose engine for S-26

Last month West Palm Beach, Fla.-based Safire Aircraft said it would soon reveal the engine supplier for its S-26 very light twinjet. Safire disclosed last August it was seeking an alternate supplier to its first choice, Agilis Engines. Agilis, which has never manufactured an engine of its own design, is primarily a supplier of engineering services to OEMs. S-26 certification is planned for next year.
